Bücher von Herbert Gold

Five decades ago, award-winning author Herbert Gold traveled to Haiti on a Caribbean version of the Fulbright Scholarship

Herbert Gold first travelled to Haiti 50 years before the publication of this volume. The journey was a turning-point in his life. Here, he explores the secret life of this vibrant, volatile, violent land. He covers the questions of aid to Haiti, and foreign participation in the Haitian crisis.

Grounded in space and time, and yet speaking of universal concerns, this title includes essays that show how the ancient human scourges of poverty, ignorance, illness, and violence desecrate humanity and weaken the spirit.

An exploration of some of the not-so-happy problems confronting people in an age of mass destruction and mass inertia. Herbert Gold tackles issues that are very much of significance to the individual, dealing with topics as diverse as teaching, writing, love, marriage, divorce and death.
